This was the bud I started with - pics a few days before harvest

Although the cobs look small now, each one started with about 1/3 to 1/2 of a 2 litre ice-cream tub ... family size ...
... just fresh oozing sticky heads
... well manicured buds
... stalks removed
... and no sugar leaves

All of the pics below are after a week of fermenting at 25-30C ... after an initial sweat of 8 hours at 35-40C.

Done the traditional way in fresh local mielie cobs. Wrapped in cling film, and bound and tied tight to get the air out. The binding caused compression which has resulted in a fused mass that has no resemblance to the individual original buds.

I reckon that the colours are far enough changed to show a good ferment already, so I took them out of the seals and let them air dry in a manilla envelope for 24 hours to slow the fermentation right down.

They are now sitting in a drawer, sealed in cling film, at around 25C, for 5 more days easy slow ferment.

Then they will get a 2 day dry.

Then they will be sealed and vacced for a 3 month cure.

Discovered in our digs - I named it after the colours.

The bud from the mother plant in 2021 harvest was all cerebral in the smoke, with a deep sense of well-being. A lot like the buzz you get after eating serious chilli. Clear and uplifting.

I am looking forward to seeing what effect the cobbed offspring will have.

Can't remember which this one was. They are all wrapped again and I can't see the labels.

So that's my novice virgin 1st attempt.

I have 10 little cobs about the thickness of my little finger, and around 10-15cm long.

Now for the patience part.

Although I have saved a mini tester which I will break out in 4 weeks.

Wow, great job!! Good luck in waiting 4 weeks, LOL. Hint: you don't need to.
